Method

Prepare the Remoulade

  1. 1

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, pickles, lemon juice, and parsley until well combined. Set aside in the fridge to chill.

Prepare the Chips

  1. 2

    Cut and Fry Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thin shoestrings. Rinse in cold water and pat dry. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from oil, drain on paper towels, and season with salt.

Prepare the Fish

  1. 3

    Batter and Cook the Fish

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually mix in the cold sparkling water to form a batter. Dip each cod fillet into the batter and carefully place into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the fried fish alongside the chips. Add a dollop of remoulade and garnish with pickles on the side.
